Tanzanians need to understand that without paying taxes then it is difficult for government to offer any public goods, such as roads, water and sewerage systems, security, security education and health. I support the opposition taxes proposals. The current tax rates are unbalanced and low earner pay proportionally more tax. The tax returns forms proposal will ensure compliance. The challenge we have now is to get more people to declare their income and become eligible to pay tax. Another challenge to to ensure full compliance in paying taxes by constantly monitoring and closing loopholes. Finally taking concrete and continuous measures to ensure that whatever is collected to not embezzled will encourage more people to comply because then there will be something to show for the taxes they have contributed. Thank you Zitto for a critical analysis of the government budget proposals and the bold proposals from the opposition camp.
